Best Farm To Table Restaurants in St. Catharines

An oasis of flavour in the middle of downtown St. Catherine's! Lovely spot with amazing food. We had the pork cutlet and the squash, both fantastic. Great wine list as well!

Our family and I were visiting from Michigan, USA and thought we would try this restaurant. What an amazing experience we had! From the moment we entered the black curtained restaurant we knew we were going to have an amazing time. The gentleman who ushered into the bar area while we waited for our table to be ready (we were the second seating) was lovely. He sat us at the bar and we ordered our drinks from the barman who with genuine interest all about the local wines around Niagara-On-The-Lake. So much so, that when we ordered our bottle of wine for dinner, he came over after our lovely waitress told him our orders, to confirm that the bottle of Syrah would be a perfect pairing. The beef tartare, scallops, seared pork were incredible! Desserts were no less than perfect. For anyone who wants a memorable experience in a restaurant with the bar, wait staff and chefs thoroughly committed to making your dinner perfect, I highly suggest they try Treadwell Cuisine.

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

An absolutely delicious meal start to finish. Service was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves.

I introduced my friend to the various O&B restaurants and we were booked for Maison Selby on Monday but then I got an email about Canoe. I told him about the Christmas Eve lunch. The staff called to confirm and I told them this is his first visit. They came through and had us seated at the table facing the CN Tower. The food was phenomenal as it always is. I had the onion soup and it blew my mind. I am not a soup person but seeing Parmesan custard in the description peaked my curiosity. On the surface a pureed soup but it looked like art with the green oil drizzle and black pepper delicately grounded and sprinkled. Below the surface were the caramelized onions and parmesan custard. Ohhh the flavour sensations having a party on my tastebuds! He had the Waldorf and said it was delicious. We both had the beef Wellington. So tender and flavourful and that was just the meat! I actually did the foodie happy dance in my chair nom nom nomming! The roasted veggies, deep fried kale and mashed potatoes were lovely. To be honest they weren’t hot but I wasn’t going to ruin the dining experience by saying anything. I thought the pastry was perfect, mine fell open in two layers. He would have liked his to be flakier on the outside layer. He had the sticky toffee pudding and absolutely loved it. I had the white chocolate cheesecake with the pistachio crème anglaise and raspberry sorbet & I loved it. The flavours and textures were my vibe! I tried two mocktails. I loved the ambrosia! The flavour combos were amazing! Then I tried the gala. The drink itself was underwhelming compared to the first but its saving grace was the fruit. I asked our lovely server and she said maraschino cherries. No way! Not the ones you get on top of sundaes. Way better! They were the star of that drink along with the really cool rectangular ice cube! Lovely seeing Oscar from our Maison Selby days. Told him the venue switch story for lunch and he was the 4th staff to say: Really? Love it! O&B ❤️
